  • - Hey, guys, this is Austin

  • and today my good buddy Matt is here

  • to try and make a little bit

  • of a different style of video.

  • So, this right here is an Intel NUC.

  • You may of caught a video we did recently

  • talking about a very unusual Nuc, but this is

  • a little bit more of a standard one

  • and at $400 your getting a core i5

  • your getting a thunderbolt port there's a lot to like.

  • Anyway so the plan is very simple this NUC is actually

  • pretty Hackintoshable this is a quad-core Core i5

  • now with these Nucs they don't come completely

  • ready to go out of the box, so we have everything

  • we need except for the RAM as well as the SSD

  • Matt has already installed that

  • but we have 16 Gigs of DDR4 RAM

  • as well as we have a 500GB SSD, so.

  • As far as putting that stuff together

  • it's really simple, where it's gonna' be a little

  • bit more difficult most likely

  • is you actually have to Hackintosh it.

  • - So with this particular model the Wi-Fi card

  • and Bluetooth card are not compatible with Mac OS.

  • - That's pretty common for Hackintosh

  • Most of the time that doesn't work.

  • - Unfortunately with this one,

  • it's actually soldered to the motherboard.

  • - That's the thing with Hackintosh is

  • most of the time you can get like 80% data

  • but usually your going to need like dongles

  • or your going to need like a USB DAC

  • or usually especially when it comes to Wi-Fi

  • just plug in a USB Wi-Fi card,

  • that's supported by MAC OS, but just to give a little

  • bit of a context here right, compared to a Mac mini

  • so if we got the Core-i3 version which is quad-core

  • so roughly equivalent 16 Gigs of RAM

  • is which what we have in here and then 512 Gigs SSD

  • the Mac mini would cost $1400 straight from Apple,

  • this all in, is what $600?

  • - $600, $650 tops for our configuration

  • depending on the spec of,

  • you know the brand of RAM and SSD you went with.

  • - The important thing is we can actually hook up

  • an external GPU to this guy so in theory

  • we're getting iMac level performance

  • for, a third the price, I mean we don't have a monitor but

  • - Yeah, yeah.

  • - So one of the things you do need

  • unless things have changed you do need a Mac

  • to do a lot of this setup right?

  • - Yeah, so you have to have an existing Mac

  • which, have here then you'll prep it with something

  • called UniBeast which will create a bootable USB drive

  • - [Austin] Which is right here already have it installed

  • - As well as some configuration things.

  • - You're definitely losing some things when you're

  • going with the Hackintosh but just considering

  • that this is smaller than a Mac mini it should be

  • roughly equivalent, and we're talking about something

  • that costs less than half the price

  • I think it might be worth the gamble

  • I'm just really curious to see how it all works.

  • First of all, shout-out to Quin, SnazzyQ.

  • He had a great video on, was this ?

  • - Exact model

  • - The exact model of the NUC, so yeah.

  • - His had less memory though.

  • - Well yeah obviously we had to be superior

  • we can't do a lamer version of a video

  • someones already done we had to

  • do a better version, otherwise it's stealing.

  • So if I fire this up it should start to boot right?

  • - Yeah it will boot into the Nucs splash screen first

  • and then it should go into the clover boot screen,

  • which is how we are tricking it.

  • - Damn that's the thing man, I love doing Hackintosh stuff

  • but like it's such a headache right,

  • like there are so many random

  • little issues that you run into

  • I mean it's cool and I think it's one of those things

  • where it's maybe not like a badge of honor for a nerd

  • like oh I built a computer I made a Hackintosh but

  • it's one of those things where you have to have

  • some patience you have to kinda' sorta' learn

  • how to do it and be ready to tinker on things right

  • cause' it will break.

  • So looks like we are into the language setup

  • this is slow process over USB 2.0

  • it literally took like 20 minutes to boot.

  • (vocalizing)

  • Oh here's a thing.

  • - [Matt] Reboot and select proper media boot device.

  • - So I'm actually going through here

  • this is recommending that we actually

  • format it as Mac OS extended as apposed to Apple file.

  • - Yeah

  • - Is that something we want to do?

  • - Let's try that again.

  • Alright so we figured out what the problem was

  • it was less the formatting that was the problem

  • but more that we didn't have the APFS driver for the SSD.

  • - So when we tried to boot it just didn't see it.

  • - [Matt] Because we're doing Mojave

  • it needed additional drivers.

  • - Which was literally we just had to drop it onto

  • the flash drive it saw everything it booted up

  • and now we are actually properly

  • installing everything onto the SSD.

  • - [Matt] Correct.

  • - So in theory in nine minutes we will have

  • a working copy of Mojave.

  • - We'll have a copy of Mojave,

  • with almost no working drivers.

  • - Okay it is day two and I think Matt has made progress

  • while I was not here, what's up?

  • - It's mostly working.

  • - Okay, so we see a Core i5 we see our 16 Gigs of DDR4

  • we also see our iris plus graphics.

  • So the cool thing is this Nuc does share the exact

  • same processor from the mid spec

  • Core i5 13" Macbook Pro.

  • Mind you no battery no screen and stuff

  • we're looking at $2200 for this

  • pretty much exact same performance,

  • and yet we got it for $600 and a couple sleepless nights

  • for Matt, so what is not working?

  • I see we're hooked up to ethernet, is the Wi-Fi not working?

  • - We do have an external Wi-Fi adapter

  • but it's currently not working, you can't actually

  • restart the computer right now.

  • - [Austin] So you have to turn it off

  • and manually turn it back on?

  • - Yeah, if you try and restart it, actually go in the

  • menu and restart it just freezes

  • so you have to hard restart it currently.

  • - [Austin] Do we have Gigpesh installed?

  • - [Matt] We do.

  • - Okay, cool let's give that a try.

  • For the most part we now have a Mac

  • that's up and running right now.

  • - Yeah, you could I mean if you're doing light tasks

  • you could totally be using this system.

  • - Oh wow that's really fast,

  • 5020 on the single core

  • and 17838 on multicore so that's actually faster than the

  • 13" Macbook Pro about 400 points higher

  • on the single thread and over 1000 points higher

  • on multi thread which kinda' makes sense because

  • the 13" MacBook even though it has the same processor

  • It's a thin, small MacBook,

  • so this has more cooling for sure.

  • This is a Gigabyte RX 580,

  • the 580 is one of the better supported cards on the Mac OS.

  • This is the exact same GPU you will find in for example

  • the 5k iMac and generally speaking we've used

  • this with Macs before and it works pretty well.

  • - Natively the 580 works in Mojave.

  • - It shows iris plus graphics,

  • so let's switch the HDMI over

  • and see if this actually works.

  • - When I tried this before it did not show me that

  • until I plugged this in.

  • - GPU is spinning, we have LED's, oh! Immediately.

  • - Immediately.

  • - Okay let's make sure this is actually showing up RX 580

  • so we have external GPU we have 16 Gigs of RAM 500 Gig SSD

  • this tiny little box, in the entire package

  • is less than a Mac mini

  • by a lot right?

  • - Yeah, yeah.

  • - And we're looking at, how much is the 580 cost right now?

  • It's like 400 bucks right?

  • - I'm not sure off the top of my head,

  • but it's a solid little box and it's cheap.

  • - This is exactly $400 and this is the higher end

  • eight Gig SKU, so for almost exactly $1000

  • we have the NUC, we have 16 Gigs of RAM

  • a 500 Gig super fast PCI SSD and we have a RX 580,

  • dude.

  • So that my friends is building the Nucintosh,

  • now really the only next thing we have to do is

  • put this side by side with an actual Mac mini

  • which costs much more and we even have GPU

  • and we will still be cheaper than a Mac mini.

  • Good job Matt, thanks for doing all the hard work

  • and letting me show up and what you doing?

  • Oh no.

- Hey, guys, this is Austin
